About Auchentoshan Distillery
Auchentoshan distillery is located in western Scotland, in the Lowland region. Its name, from Gaelic Achadh an Oisein, means “corner of the field.” Known as “Glasgow’s Malt Whisky” and “the breakfast whisky” for its sweet, delicate nature, Auchentoshan is located near Glasgow, at the foot of the Old Kilpatrick Hills.
Founded in 1823 by John Bulloch, the distillery has changed ownership several times. It was rebuilt in 1969 by Eadie Cairns, sold to Stanley P. Morrison in 1984, and fully acquired by Suntory in 1994.
Auchentoshan’s triple distillation process creates a delicate, sweet flavour. Which has led them to perform very well at International’s Spirit Competitions.

Auchentoshan Whisky Cask Ownership - The Facts
Auchentoshan is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
